"Bulls on Parade" addresses the American military-industrial complex, a situation in which industry (the arms industry, primarily) urges government to take military action, with the intent of obtaining military contracts, to thereby increase its revenue. The idiom "bulls on parade" refers to a bull market. The symbol may also mean the muscularity of American responses to complex problems.

Imo I don't think the name is "Gay". I also don't think it fits as a name for our Defense.

You know, when one has to explain what the name means to people, it is probably not a good name for our defense.

lol! Lecture? Simply asking people to be informed of the song from which the name derives is a lecture? Wow dude, chill out. People fly off the handle all the time about stuff they don't know about, I'm trying to help inform the masses who may think it's a "gay" name or otherwise. Is it really too much to ask that people listen to a 3 minute song before jumping to conclusions?

Just a little bit, yes.

If they want to adopt that as their theme song.... great, I'll jam along when I hear it at Reliant, I'll think about them when I hear it on the radio, I'll make it my freak'n ringtone for Mario Williams.

But I'm not calling the Texans' defense Bulls on Parade.

Do you really think people didn't make fun of 5 guys dressed up as football players on a set with fake gravestones and machine fog calling themselves the doomsday D? I can make fun of anything. Doomsday D? More like GAYsday!!! Steel curtain? More like GAY curtain!!! People can and will make fun of everything. I just think it's funny that so many people are in search of an identity when nothing will ever meet the mystic standard they come up with from some old posters or something.

I say keep the song, but don't stress or worry about a nickname. Like all good nicknames, it's best if it's given to you by someone else. Unfortunately with Barwin championing this nickname, it's likely to stick regardless of the naysayers.

And that right there neatly summarizes the problem with this suggested nickname. As soon as you have to start explaining what it means you're done. That's it, thank you for the suggestion. Keep up the good work and I'm sure you'll come up with something eventually.

So out of curiosity why does the Rep system even matter. Does one lose a body part or something if you get so many negative reps?

If one recieves so many postive reps do we get a car at the end of the year?

Just wondering why they matter.

I got my student loans paid off when I crossed 10,000 by some obscure government agency Obama created. Of course when I got negative rep twice in a month I was investigated by the FBI and put on a no-fly list.
